Apocalipsis 6
Palabra de Dios para Todos
El Cordero abre el rollo
6 Cuando el Cordero rompió el primer sello, oí a una de las cuatro criaturas que decía con voz de trueno: «¡Ven!»[a] 2 Entonces vi que delante de mí había un caballo blanco. Su jinete tenía un arco; recibió una corona y salió con ánimo triunfante para vencer una vez más.
3 Cuando el Cordero rompió el segundo sello, oí que la segunda criatura decía: «¡Ven!» 4 Entonces salió otro caballo rojo como el fuego. Su jinete había recibido el poder de quitar la paz de la tierra y hacer que la gente se matara entre sí, y para ello se le dio una gran espada.
5 Cuando el Cordero rompió el tercer sello, oí a la tercera criatura que decía: «¡Ven!» Entonces vi delante de mí a un caballo negro y a su jinete con una balanza en la mano. 6 Y escuché algo como una voz que salía de entre las cuatro criaturas y decía: «Un kilo[b] de trigo, o 3 kilos[c] de cebada, por el salario de un día, pero que no haya escasez ni de aceite ni de vino».
7 Cuando el Cordero rompió el cuarto sello, oí la voz de la cuarta criatura que decía: «¡Ven!» 8 Entonces miré y delante de mí había un caballo amarillento. Su jinete se llamaba Muerte[d], y el Hades lo seguía muy de cerca. A ellos se les dio el poder sobre la cuarta parte del mundo para matar a la gente por medio de la guerra[e], del hambre, de las enfermedades y de los animales salvajes.
9 Cuando el Cordero rompió el quinto sello, miré debajo del altar y vi las almas de quienes habían sido asesinados por ser fieles al mensaje de Dios y al testimonio que habían recibido. 10 Gritaban muy fuerte: «Señor santo y verdadero, ¿cuándo vas a juzgar a los habitantes de la tierra y a castigarlos por habernos asesinado?» 11 Cada uno recibió una vestidura blanca y se les dijo que esperaran un poco más porque aun había algunos hermanos y siervos de Cristo que debían ser asesinados como habían sido asesinados ellos.
12 Cuando el Cordero rompió el sexto sello, miré y hubo un gran terremoto. El sol se oscureció como si estuviera de luto y la luna se puso toda roja como la sangre. 13 Las estrellas del cielo cayeron a la tierra, como los higos verdes caen de la higuera cuando soplan fuertes vientos. 14 El cielo desapareció como un pergamino que se enrolla y todas las montañas e islas se movieron de su lugar.
15 La gente se escondió en cuevas y detrás de las rocas de las montañas. Todos se escondieron: reyes, gobernantes, generales; ricos y poderosos, esclavos y libres. 16 Todos les decían a las montañas y a las rocas: «Caigan sobre nosotros y escóndannos del que está sentado en el trono y de la ira del Cordero. 17 El gran día de su ira ha llegado y nadie podrá sobrevivir».
Revelation 6
King James Version
6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Revelation 6
English Standard Version
The Seven Seals
6 Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of (A)the seven seals, and I heard (B)one of the four living creatures say (C)with a voice like thunder, (D)“Come!” 2 And I looked, and behold, (E)a white horse! And (F)its rider had a bow, and (G)a crown was given to him, and he came out (H)conquering, and to conquer.
3 When he opened the second seal, I heard (I)the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, (J)bright red. Its rider was permitted (K)to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the (L)third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, (M)a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, (N)“A quart[a] of wheat for a denarius,[b] and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and (O)do not harm the oil and wine!”
7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of (P)the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 And I looked, and behold, (Q)a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill (R)with sword and with famine and with pestilence and (S)by wild beasts of the earth.
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under (T)the altar (U)the souls of those who had been slain (V)for the word of God and for (W)the witness they had borne. 10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, (X)holy and true, (Y)how long (Z)before you will judge and (AA)avenge our blood on (AB)those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then they were each given (AC)a white robe and (AD)told to rest a little longer, (AE)until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers[c] (AF)should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, (AG)there was a great earthquake, and (AH)the sun became black as (AI)sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13 and (AJ)the stars of the sky fell to the earth (AK)as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. 14 (AL)The sky vanished (AM)like a scroll that is being rolled up, and (AN)every mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave[d] and free, (AO)hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 (AP)calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of (AQ)him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 for (AR)the great day of their wrath has come, and (AS)who can stand?”
